The victim’s attorney, Jordan Acker, said the incident happened on a flight between Florida and Detroit on July 27, 2016. His complaint reads:

While he was doing this, the defendant told her that he ‘liked white women’ and asked ‘where’s your man?’” the complaint says. The victim says she told the man to stop and said her kids were sitting behind her. He eventually left, the complaint says, and went back to masturbating in his own seat with his penis exposed.
